In the Diagnostics tab on the subtabs Analog values and Digital values, you can view all configured operands in tabular form with their data type and actual value.

On the S7 request info subtab, you can view the data sent to the S7-CPU, and the data that are reported back as well as the general diagnostics data.

DB version

Version of the data block used in the CPU

FB version

Version of the function block used in the CPU

ibaPDA IP address

IP address of the ibaPDA computer sent to the S7-CPU.

Module index

Module index sent to the S7-CPU (see also General module settings)

Max. pointers

The max. number of used pointers (depends on the size of the data block ibaREQ_DB).

Used pointers

Currently used number of pointers.

Max. data bytes

Max. size of the user data in the data telegrams to ibaPDA

Used data bytes

Currently used bytes in the user data of the data telegrams.

Time between telegrams:

Configured: Corresponds to the setting Timebase on the General tab Actual: Time between the two last received telegrams Min: shortest time Max: longest time

The background color of the values Actual, Min and Max provides additional information:

Color	Meaning
Green	The time span between two telegrams is shorter than the double of the defined timebase.
Orange	The time span between two telegrams is higher or equals the double of the defined timebase.

Pointer table

Currently required data pointer with address and length

For optimizing the communication performance, signals with consecutive addresses are requested and transferred as a block (pointer).
